The U.S. Olympic Committee says it’s taking its most diverse team ever to a Winter Games, an impressive and deserved boast that requires a caveat of sorts. Yes, USOC officials are pleased the team includes more African Americans and Asian Americans — and even the first two openly gay men — than recent winter squads. But they also realize this year’s U.S. Olympic team, not unlike those of most other nations gathering in PyeongChang this week, is still overwhelmingly white.

“We’re not quite where we want to be,” said Jason Thompson, the USOC’s director of diversity and inclusion. “. . . I think full-on inclusion has always been a priority of Team USA. I think everybody’s always felt it should represent every American.”

Newsflash. The United States is also overwhelmingly white. Maybe there's a correlation?

Not to mention it's the ****ing winter olympics. The summer olympics is track and field. The winter olympics is hockey and snowboarding. Is it racist to acknowledge that?

Genuinely curious.

Then there's Shani Davis, an African American Olympic speed skater that boycotted the opening ceremonies due to not being able to carry the American flag because he lost a "dishonorable" coin flip for the right during Black History Month.

1000 bucks says that guy is a crazed LWNJ. They’re the only ones dumb enough to call a coin flip dishonorable.

This is one area where there shouldn't be a discussion. The BEST athlete who meets our criteria to compete and passes their drug test should be the competitor.

If the committee wants to reach out with the training centers or whatever to encourage others to train or try a sport, I'm fine with it if they also provide the same opportunity to whites in underprivileged economies.

Yes. There's actually a position on our Olympic committee for such garbage.

This stuff really is baffling. How is it a problem that one of the Olympians happens to be white? You compete, if you win, you advance. There isn't any picking or choosing as far as I know. This whole inclusion thing is getting quite ridiculous. We shouldn't even CARE what color ANYBODY is as long as they are the best for the job.

These people are goddamn morons. You want the Olympic team to look more like America?

PSSST....AMERICA IS 80% WHITE. ****ing dipshits.

Just remember and their minds they are victims and thus they have a victim mentality. In their minds when they don't succeed it's because they are a victim. Everybody has this mentality to some degree, but in my experience the victim mentality never gets one anywhere.
